US 2020/0349281 A1 · DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DATA WITH CONTEXT-BASED PROCESSING

Abstract

Techniques for using contextual information to manage data that is subject to one or more data-handling requirements are described herein. In many instances, the techniques capture or depend upon the contextual information surrounding the creation and/or subsequent actions associated with the data. The contextual information may be updated as the data is handled in various manners. The contextual information may be used to identify data-handling requirements that are applicable to the data, such as regulations, standards, internal policies, business decisions, privacy obligations, security requirements, and so on. The techniques may analyze the contextual information at any time to provide responses regarding handling of the data to requests from requestors, such as administrators, applications, and others.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving data that has been acquired;
determining contextual information regarding data-handling of the data;
tagging the data with the contextual information;
receiving, from a requestor, a request regarding the data-handling of the data, wherein the request asks for information regarding performance of an action with respect to the data;
determining an entity that will perform the action;
determining a response to the request based at least in part on the contextual information and the entity that will perform the action, the response comprising one or more data-handling requirements;
and
providing the response to the requestor, the response providing guidance for the entity that will perform the action, the guidance comprising instructions for handling the data in compliance with the one or more data-handling requirements.

5 more elements

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving data that has been acquired;
determining authority data related to the data, wherein the authority data indicates at least one of a jurisdiction or authority that is applicable to the data, a law that is applicable to the data, a regulation that is applicable to the data, a rule that is applicable to the data, a standard that is applicable to the data, or an industry practice or procedure that is applicable to the data;
tagging the data with the authority data;
receiving, from a requestor, a request regarding the data-handling of the data;
determining a response to the request based at least in part on one or more data-handling requirements indicated by the authority data;
and
providing the response to the requestor, the response providing guidance on handling the data in compliance with the one or more data-handling requirements.
